Looking At The Future

As a result of liberal policies, America hasn't been keeping up with population growth in terms of our growing energy needs as a nation - and this situation has been created by the lack of any new oil refineries, any new coal plants, as coal plants have actually been closing at an alarming rate (remember Obama's promise to cripple the coal industry? It is no secret) and no new nuclear power plants over the past 3 decades. All of this has been an open agenda of the far left and our current administration and the people of this nation are suffering as a result - but we are just in the early stages of this suffering. Under the false and irrational promises of wind power and solar power, we, as a nation have neglected the most basic needs supplied by coal, oil and gas. Liberals have done everything in their power to prevent our energy needs from being met and we are now seeing some early results of these 'policies'. Hurricane Sandy has opened the door to looking into the future. Worse - for any thinking human, this has been done under the false premise of mythical 'global warming' - even though the planet has been cooling for the last 15-16 years - but don't let facts get in the way or dogma. 

The pictures below should serve as a look into the future - thanks to the irrational, unrealistic and patently ridiculous policies we have seen for the last 3 decades in this country. This is exactly where we are headed. Anyone my age or older recalls waiting in lines for gas for hours during the Carter years, when similar policies were in effect. 

Look at these pictures because this is where we are headed - and this bleak future won't be due to a hurricane, it will be due to the liberal policies regarding energy. Notice, there are no lines for solar panels or windmills, and one has to wonder how many of these people have voted for the same liberal policies which have given us this situation:

A Nation Waiting

Obama Sitting On A Bunch Of New Regulations

Federal agencies are sitting on a pile of major health, environmental, and financial regulations that lobbyists, congressional staffers, and former administration officials say are being held back to avoid providing ammunition to Mitt Romney and other Republican critics.Despite looming legislative deadlines in the Affordable Care Act, court deadlines requiring environmental-protection rules, and a financial industry awaiting clarification on key reform details, the pace of regulatory release has slowed by almost half. The drop-off stands out not just compared to earlier years of Obama’s term but also compared to other years in which presidents are running for reelection, according to analyses from experts at George Mason and George Washington universities.The administration has also failed to release a required regulatory outlook document, describing its regulatory agenda. Such documents are supposed to be published every six months; the most recent one was published in January, making this the longest lag between outlooks since the deadline schedule was created in 1994.

Society Unravels In Wake Of Sandy: Need More FEMA Power

News wires across the spectrum are filled with harrowing signs of unfolding social collapse in the wake of Sandy that could exacerbate in the days to come as power outages are expected to last a week, pitting residents against each other over access to gasoline, food and other necessary supplies in large pockets of the most densely populated area of the nation.That desperation is sure to further intensify in proportion with strained resources, as order has already started to dissolve under reported limits on cash and commerce as electronic payment is suspended and those on food stamps are unable to use EBT payments.

Images of hungry people diving for food in dumpsters make clear that neither individuals nor governments were prepared to keep things running and meet basic needs despite the hype over the “superstorm” leading up to Sandy.

Shocking accounts of eroding civility have cropped up across social media and in reports. As Breitbartdemonstrated, numerous threats were made at gun or knife point, while long lines for gasoline saw fights and high tension. Gas stations continue to be guarded by armed police, as supplies are rationed.

Meanwhile, it’s politics as usual on the campaign trail – not in trading blows between the Obama and Romney camps just days ahead of the scheduled election – but in praising FEMA and endorsing more power and billions more in money for the bloated agency.

GOP Governor Chris Christie, presiding over the heavily affected state of New Jersey, has been most notable in embracing federal disaster relief in force – and with full federal funding – even praising President Obama despite the tense election season reaching crescendo, irking many GOP politicos.

Mainstream media have echoed this uncritical endorsement, giving FEMA preemptive praise for its efforts in Sandy. ‘FEMA is the solution,’ and other bold claims are made to ensure the public does not break out of theillusion that FEMA is its loving savior.But FEMA remains an agency capable only of a mismatched response, too slow to handle the most immediate needs to contain potential chaos, but always on pace for a gradual power grab after the fact, actually feeding off a greater disaster.

Once again, this bloated government agency can’t and won’t help the masses in a disaster.

Yet politicians throughout the corporate-owned two party system are lining up to meet any request for FEMA funds, already approaching $12 billion plus, despite its track record of failure.While nearly 5 million people are without power for perhaps another week, the Huffington Post, among others, has identified 17 million living in FEMA’s disaster relief zone, soon to be occupied by an inefficient, top down control mechanism.

Notoriously, FEMA botched any meaningful relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina in terms of its primary mandate to quickly rescue and care for the needs of displaced victims, yet went over the top in creating an occupied martial law zone where guns were confiscated even in dry areas, the needy and vulnerable were placed in a hotbed of criminals at the Superdome and people were shot for trying to cross the bridge and exit the disaster zone.

Congressman Ron Paul weighed in as a lonely voice willing to critique FEMA’s history of inefficiency and naked power grabs, while defending the centuries of local aid organized within the community in simply helping each other:

Yea - just keep repeating the mantra "the government will take care of you, the government will take care of you". Maybe if that is repeated enough it will actually come true.
